If you are about to give up on some good, godly thing — don’t!
The winter was hard on a lovely spring, summer, and fall plant we much enjoyed!
It’s April!
And it was still looking dead, dead. See what I mean?
Today, I was about done – about to trash it BUT then I saw this!
So, here is my encouragement for us today. If it was a thing of beauty; if it was a gift from The Father; if it’s good and godly — give it some more time.
I thought this might encourage you in the morning as you wake up and turn on your digital screens.
20 We are waiting for Adonai; he is our help and shield. 21 For in him our hearts rejoice, because we trust in his holy name. 22 May your mercy, Adonai, be over us, because we put our hope in you. source Psalm 33 CJB
As I open this page, it’s too late to be staring at a computer screen so I plan to be quick.
Just here to say hi and provide us with a passage of Father’s Word to use today however He directs us.
6 Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. 7 Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously. Isaiah 55: 6-7
The whole of the chapter is a worthy read. I hope you will seize the time and read it. HERE
2023 is speeding by. I have to ask myself: What have I done with it?
Let’s see. I have loved-on my great-grands and my grands. I’ve done some reading and some writing. Kept house. Visited a bit. And prayed a lot. But there is always, always more praying to do – not as a chore but a holy delight! Now for the most important question.
Luke 10:2 Complete Jewish Bible 2 He said to them, “To be sure, there is a large harvest. But there are few workers. Therefore, plead with the Lord of the Harvest that he speed workers out to gather in his harvest. source
Isaiah 6:8 New American Standard Bible 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” source
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
